The same Fiscal Stamp overprinted for Cilicia (Sc#98 1920)

Comes with numerous errors.
1958 Stanley Gibbons.

According to Michael Adkins:

Overprint/Surcharge #5 – The last of the Ottoman overprints, were also surcharges on two stamps issued in Feb, 1920. As Ottoman postage stamp supply was running low, the French took available stocks of fiscal stamps used to seal cigarette boxes and overprinted them in blue around the four sides of the stamp with "OCCUPATION // MILITAIRE // FRANCAISE // CILICIE", and then applied one of two surcharges in the middle. Various misspellings, print sizes, double and triple surcharges, alignments have been recorded.

Nice STAMBOUL 3 Pmk
(I'll soak before straightening teeth, otherwise they break off)
Sc #97 1892 1 piastre.

The "P.I.O." postmark is a Constantinople postmark meaning "Postes Impériales Ottomanes".

Here's an example from the Internet of a similar framed elliptical "P.I.O." postmark on a postcard send abroad:

Thank you very much, Nigel.

I am left wondering why two strikes were necessary?
The PIO I would have guessed was a type of secondary Pmk, to cancel stamps
missed by the Postmaster.
However in this case, two strikes were used on a card, disproving that idea.
